Volunteers needed for 2025 Texas Food Truck Showdown
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – One of Waco's biggest springtime events is getting close, and volunteers are needed!
The Texas Food Truck Showdown is coming back to Heritage Square in downtown Waco on Saturday, April 5! There are several different volunteer jobs and time slots available.
According to the event's official website, the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce introduced the very first state-wide food truck competition, the Texas Food Truck Showdown, in 2015. The Chamber's special events team anticipated around 5,000 people to be in attendance for the inaugural event, and hoped to secure 20 food trucks from around the state to compete. The first Showdown blew the team's goals out of the water, boasting an impressive 35 food trucks traveling to Waco from all over the state to compete while serving upwards of 15,000 people who attended.
The Texas Food Truck Showdown has since become a regular spring event for Waco, welcoming up to 40 food trucks from around the country and over 25,000 people each year!
If you would like to volunteer for the event, you can go here. Volunteers will also receive an official Volunteer Texas Food Truck Showdown tee and one Tasty Ticket!

At The Box Office: ‘Materialists'
COLCHESTER, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – This week on 'At The Box Office' film critic Julia Swift discussed 'Materialists', which is about a matchmaker stuck between two love interests. Swift said that the movie 'comes off as more of a pretty typical romantic comedy' without looking down on the genre. Still, the movie has hidden depth that Swift found enjoyable. She also highlighted the film's director, Celine Song, who reportedly wrote this film based on her time as a matchmaker in NYC. Dakota Johnson, who plays the titular matchmaker, 'always plays the same character,' according to Swift. While she would have loved to see a different actor portray that character, she praised Chris Evans and his performance. Pedro Pascal also stars along side them in this movie. Overall, there is 'so much to enjoy.' Anyone interested can catch 'Materialists' in theatres. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Acrobat battle comes to Gloucestershire in satirical circus spectacle
A HIGH-energy satirical circus show is coming to Gloucestershire. Showdown, produced by Upswing, will be performed at Gloucester Guildhall from Thursday, June 27 to Saturday, June 29, with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. The show follows on from Upswing's mockumentary Common Ground, available on YouTube, which went behind the scenes of the fictional search for a Global Majority star to rebrand circus for the 21st Century. It sees six acrobats race to become 'the new face of the circus' whilst asking questions about media, identity, tokenism and the obsession with winning. Throughout the show, the audience is invited to vote for the winner, with each round delving further into the contestants' ambition and seeing just how much they will sacrifice to come out on top. Upswing artistic director Vicki Dela Amedume said: "We're excited to finally bring Showdown to the UK. "This production has been a labour of love for the company and, to us, it represents more than just a performance—it's a testament to the unique possibilities that arise when circus and theatre collide. "It promises to be a fresh, dynamic experience: a great night out filled with incredible circus, but one that will also provoke as much thought as it does gasps. "Through conversations with Athena Kugblenu and other global majority creatives, I have become really interested in how the conversation around diversity has shifted in recent years. "I'm interested in the games we play and what we are willing to sacrifice to get the rewards we hope for and in the dynamics of power. "Ultimately, we want the audience to leave our show feeling elated, hopeful and ready to change the world." Jaide Annalise, Rebecca Solomon, Shane Hampden, Loris Di Via, Kussyl Amara, Gracie Hill and Rhys Hollis will make up the cast of performers for the show. The show, suitable for ages 12 and over, will begin at 7.30pm each day. Tickets for the show can be bought from the Gloucester Guildhall website.
